There was absolutely no rush to get her ass to the shop. Well, it was where her workroom was hidden away, behind layers of wards and she needed to do that work for Amadeus... But taking a moment to make sure she was put together and putting on a good face for any evening clients was worth the time. The day she didn't make sure face, hair, and clothes were on point was the day she needed to go into the ground.
Eventually, she had made her way to the shop and headed in through the backdoor. She did this specifically to see if James was doing what he was meant to. Sure, after thirteen years, she didn't really need to worry about it but he often did very silly things just to entertain himself when he thought no one was looking.
Like now.
For a moment, she just watched him, mopping and dancing and singing like it was some kind of music video set. The song choice amused the fuck out of her too and only gave her ideas. She strode across the shop, making sure her steps were silent and his back was to her... When she reached James, she grabbed him around the waist and pulled him close. He was taller than her but that didn't seem to stop her from lifting up on her toes and licking along the curve of his neck, "Behaving for me, pup?"
